Billie Eilish is stepping into a new creative role with her official acting debut in The Bell Jar. The Grammy-winning singer will portray Esther Greenwood in the upcoming film adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s acclaimed 1963 novel. The first glimpses of Eilish on set have already generated excitement among fans. Her transformation for the role also offers a striking contrast to her familiar music persona.
Billie Eilish Reveals Dramatic New Look
Photos from the film set offered fans a first look at Eilish as Esther Greenwood. The 24-year-old singer appeared in a bold red shirt paired with a checkered skirt.
She completed the character’s look with minimal jewellery and matching red shoes featuring a short heel. Bold red lipstick added another distinctive element, while her light brown hair featured a side-parted style.
Another image showed Eilish in a teal-coloured dress layered over a beige underdress. This appearance presented a noticeably softer look, with the singer opting for a natural, makeup-free appearance.
